The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the
>"Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just
>read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.
>
>1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
>
>2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
>
>3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
>
>4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
>
>5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
>
>6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
>
>
>
> How did you do?
>
>The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. There are no
>second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause
>dies. Awards tarnish. Acheivements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates
>are buried with their owners.
>
>Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
>
>1 List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
>
>2 Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
>
>3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
>
>4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
>
>5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
>
>Easier?
>
>The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones
>with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the
>ones that care.
>
>Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
>"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow
>in Australia." (Charles Schultz)
